One more win over the Chicago Wolves will allow the Rampage to advance to the Western Conference semifinals for the first time in their 10 AHL seasons.

The Rampage put the Wolves on their heels with back-to-back victories at the AT&T Center last week and lead the best-of-5 series 2-0. Faceoff for Game 3 today is 7 p.m.

But history suggests getting the clincher isn't going to be easy.

The Rampage have won only nine of 38 games in Allstate Arena.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that two of those came this season, when the Rampage swept the Wolves in all four of their regular-season meetings. Add in the 5-4 overtime win in Game 1 and the 4-3 victory in Game 2, and the Rampage have beaten Chicago six straight times — all by one goal.

“We did what we needed to do (at home),” said Rampage coach Chuck Weber, whose teams won the ECHL's Kelly Cup twice when he was coaching in Cincinnati. “So now we have to go up and win one on the road.”
